844 in the Cold.
Author: tehachcond

Back in April 0f 2010, we were set up on the overpass at Archer, Wyoming, (now gone), and it was COLD, with a nasty Wyoming wind to go along with it. Estimated wind chill somewhere around 15 degrees.  While waiting for the 844, I discovered that the battery in my video camera had quit in the cold.  As I was walking back to my spot from the car with a fresh battery, the train showed up.  I was only able to get this grab shot.
As a note, while we were waiting, Lynn Nystrom swung by in the crew chase truck and gave us the horselaugh.
Thanks for looking, and as always comments welcome.

Nice! If Lynn was driving the support vehicle, wonder who was the Fireman.
